【生活英文】一则关于锻炼的对话
语言的魅力在于它的千变万化,但这也正是很多学习英语者的困惑:明明学过的,不知道怎样用,听到别人说,又觉得很简单。或者,听到的话,每个字都认识,但是连在一起不明白。要想破解这个问题,唯一的办法就是多输入多练习!
今天我们来学习一段生活对话,看看有哪些说法是你熟悉却不会用,又有哪些说法是你闻所未闻的!
A: Boy! You look burned out. Did you make it to your aerobics class last night? You must have got quite a workout!
B: I made it, but the class was cancelled. The instructor was sick. All the ladies were really bummed out.
A: What a shame! Did you end up jogging in the park instead?
B: No, I got my workout this morning. I must have walked up a hundred stairs. I think I burned 500 calories.
A: You have a Stairmaster at home?
B: No, the elevator was broken again!
A: 天那!你看起来好疲惫呀。你昨晚去上健身课了吗?你一定是狠练了一番。
B:我去了,但是那节课被取消了。教练病了,女士们都很沮丧。
A:真遗憾!那你最后是不是到公园去慢跑了呢?
B:没有。我今天早晨倒是锻炼了。我应该爬了有100层楼梯吧。我想我消耗了500个卡路里。
A:你家里有部爬楼机吗?
B:哪里呀,电梯又坏了啦!
